00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,640
This is Hacker Public Radio episode 4,108 for Wednesday the first of May 2024.

2
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,000
Today's show is entitled, What's In My Bag.

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:22,880
It is hosted by Swift 110 and is about 10 minutes long.

4
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,480
It carries a clean flag.

5
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:40,480
The summary is I describe what's in my bag.

6
00:00:40,480 --> 00:00:50,240
Everybody is me again, Swift 110, but it's been a while since I've actually recorded on

7
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,240
here.

8
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:57,480
I go ahead and start doing more, I guess I'll make up for the last time and go through

9
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:03,520
my phones and see what I've recorded previously and go ahead and finally post them all here.

10
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:10,200
I mean, they're not exactly time-sensitive information after all, so that'll be something

11
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,200
to look forward to for sure.

12
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:16,080
We're hearing a lot more from me in the future, so hopefully you like my voice.

13
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:23,520
I'm sorry that my voice is a little trashed right now, it's just from being extremely happy

14
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:30,720
and talking a lot of work, you know, and I was able to go skating last night and that was

15
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:37,120
very exciting as well, so it is what it is, I'll take a sip of this water, see if that

16
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:45,640
helps, you know, okay, it's not so pretty good.

17
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,760
What am I going to talk about today?

18
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Let's do an installment of what's in my bag.

19
00:01:52,560 --> 00:02:04,440
Well, what's normally in my bag these days are the following, 15 inch, 2015 MacBook Pro,

20
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:14,000
which means obviously I'm going to carry its parakeel adapter with it, so I've blown

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,960
this to item right there, I'm going to also carry my iPad 9, again, that has a cable,

22
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,280
it's an adapter at the end, so I'll make sure the charge that up whenever necessary, thankfully

23
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:32,960
it's rare, but I'm able to do that with the iPad, okay, great iPad and charger.

24
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:39,000
I also have a second cable that I got for pretty cheap that I really, really like, so I just

25
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,840
carry that with me just in case I have another Apple device or somebody else needs to use it,

26
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:51,520
I have that just in case they are, what else do I have, let's think about it, okay, so

27
00:02:51,600 --> 00:03:03,280
I have a multi, multi, yeah, fine, not fine, but multi power adapter, that's in the shape

28
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:08,560
of a cube that I got from Target, thank you Target, not the Deus sponsor of this particular

29
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:13,720
recording, but just a shout out nonetheless, because they hooked me up with that thing, it comes

30
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,480
in really handy when you need to have several plugs for this device, you know, you're going

31
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,560
to have a bit of a coffee shop and they just don't have that many areas to plug in, you'll

32
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:34,160
have to talk, phone or whatnot, and it's nice to be able to add plugs and just make it more

33
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:44,000
of a better experience for everybody involved, okay, great. I also carry, actually what I'm

34
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:52,560
going to start carrying is at least two USB-C cables, it's overkill, but right now I have

35
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:00,800
a four foot, four to six feet, you know, those are six, you know, it's a four foot or something

36
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:08,960
like that, USB cable, that's pretty nice, like a braided coffee, USB-C cable, USB-A in the other

37
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:17,360
and I'll plan on getting another six foot cable, pretty soon, gotta be coming handy, and

38
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:24,800
those coming handy, you know, that I'm starting just using the short little cables, probably

39
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,640
a lot of foot long, those are all I really need for a USB-C cable to charge my phone at night,

40
00:04:31,280 --> 00:04:37,120
just plug that into my MacBook Pro and just want to go, it's really convenient to use as well,

41
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:47,440
and so pretty much cables, laser charge, my iPad as well as my MacBook Pro, and then of course,

42
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:55,920
I'll carry clothing, you know, using shirts underwear for, no, at least two of each, and I

43
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:02,480
tend to pack those, I'll fold those a certain way, and then put the laptop on them, and it helps

44
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:09,200
cushion the laptop, the bottom of the bag, because there's no other cushioning available in that

45
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,880
manner, so that comes in real handy as well. In fact, that reminds me, I wanted to go to a store

46
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:21,040
in Union Market today, and because I don't have to be at work for a while, this is quite

47
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:26,400
today to get on over there and see what they got, and man, something I need that I could really use

48
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:34,160
that will help me in the daily life, so we'll work that out for a short, but also not,

49
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:40,080
do I normally have my bag, my USB drives, my vent toy stick, a couple of other drives,

50
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:46,240
I got my resume on it, so I try to have big enough drives, so that if I need to download

51
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,760
operating systems, swap them all, I would not, I'm able to do so, transfer files from computer

52
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:57,840
when I don't want to do it wirelessly, because as much as I love Katie, you can take a little

53
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:03,840
time, when I could just transfer a boom and drop and be done using this thing that it's always

54
00:06:03,840 --> 00:06:11,040
a good thing in the heart options for sure. The bag I use is a simple $12 bag that I got

55
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:19,200
from actually one of those discount stores, the tag union market, I'm really grateful to have it,

56
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:27,360
you know, hopefully, you know, it'll last so long enough, the bag I really, really want

57
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:34,000
it's from $10.2, and when I take, when I go get that, it gotta be something nice. I currently have

58
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:41,760
a messenger bag from them that I got, hmm, and like 2012, and boy, it's been through it, so

59
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:46,320
what I'm hoping is that they'll come through with their lifetime guarantee warranty on thing

60
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:52,800
and that, I'll be able to get a brand new bag, that'll be amazing. So, a couple of things

61
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,320
I'm trying to work on in the future, because I like, you know, you want to have a good bag,

62
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:04,560
the sturdy, the waterproof, that's actually going to last, because the last thing you want to do,

63
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,160
oh my goodness, and I've had this half in time and time again, is that one of the straps breaks,

64
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:18,560
those y'all felt, you know, you definitely don't want that, and so I'm trying to avoid having

65
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:26,560
an issue happening at all, and so, just kind of working on various upgrades. Now, we're

66
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:33,200
guarding the woods in my bag right now, the laptop by itself is little four pounds, four and a

67
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:40,240
half pounds rather, knees, and I pad by itself as a pound and the exact thing in the charging

68
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:47,600
cables and stuff, that's probably another pound, once you add all that together, and a little bit

69
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:54,480
of clothing, you know, that's quite a bit when you're carrying it, you know, walk a lot, you know,

70
00:07:54,480 --> 00:08:00,880
in the go a lot as much as I am, you just want to make it a lighter, my compact kind of scenario,

71
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:09,040
and so, I look forward to getting a 13-inch framework laptop. That would be amazing because

72
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:13,680
that's nearly three pounds, but that takes a pound and a half off of what I'm already telling,

73
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:20,160
and that will be absolutely superb, just having that dog in your shingy, you know, it does

74
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,680
mean a little smaller or a screen, I think it's a better screen than I have, and it's not good

75
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,880
well, and definitely I'll get a much better, I'll get a better battery life out of it,

76
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:37,920
and having a new machine will be faster and better as well. I have to actually do a benchmark

77
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:45,040
and compare the two, because that one's using a U processor, you know, versus the HQ processor,

78
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:52,400
that's been this 2015 MacBook Pro, the way for me to get a much better CPU, of course, we

79
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:59,840
would get the thing works as team, I think, all that one's kind of having, but it's also kind of expensive,

80
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:07,680
and I could use it, but that would really be spurging, and so we'll see how things play out

81
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:13,680
into the future, but yeah, this has been an episode installment rather of what's in my bag,

82
00:09:13,680 --> 00:09:19,360
I'll be adjusting things periodically so that a lot of the function better, stay me in, of course,

83
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,720
have a lighter weight that I'm carrying, but we're on this four and a half pounds,

84
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:29,760
can be a bit much, it's not horrible, I'm definitely not doing what I used to do,

85
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:36,720
where I would actually carry a T420 and an X20 one along with an iPad at the same time,

86
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,000
and all the charging things that go along with that, so at least I'm, I've gotten better.

87
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:47,200
See at the time, I would go out and about do what I need to do, travel by Airbnb,

88
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,640
and it would be a situation where I just couldn't choose which laptop I wanted to carry,

89
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,480
and so I would just say, hey, I'll carry both of those of library and walk with it like that,

90
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:06,400
and that was fantastic and all, but a little bit older, I guess, a little wiser and just don't

91
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:12,240
want to do that anymore. The only thing is I really, really prefer using Linux machines,

92
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:19,840
as nice as that, believe some things I can do without thinking about it, and I've got to go look it up

93
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:26,640
and whatnot, and so, you know, getting back to a Linux daily kind of program would be amazing.

94
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:31,840
Well, it's all I have to say for right now, this is been Swift 110,

95
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:37,440
and I hope you guys have a fantastic day, another installing of what's in my bag.

96
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:42,080
You guys take care of yourselves, bye, bye.
